Re-echo, Why"
For brave you are, and strong, and wise. and
tender,
And true to me;
And good to look upon as man or lover
Might wish to be
If could picture out my souls ideal,
Such grace 'twOuld show.
What fate, then, writes this hard, strange word
between us,
This hopeless No?
All, tell me, II you can, the sorry reason

Are slain by frost: and SLOW decay may canker
the years best fruits!
Why flowers are left athirst, in scorchiBg SUM

For drink of rainf
Why reckless winds springs promise buds dow

On field and plains
But these, yOn see, are natures royal secrets:

Why want and waste 70 hand in hanu To-

Pet Phrases iii the Pulpit.
From the Christian Advocate

From che CHRISTIAN Advocate.
All who speak or pray in public
would do well to look closely into the
words they use, and ascertain Just
how many pet phrases they have.
One pastor was noticed never to use
the word prosperity without adding
perfection and glory. The regular
tracks of thoughts sometimes betray
a speaker. Thus. one of our minis
ters, speaking in the pulpit OF the late
Horace Cook, called him Horace
Greeley, there being q we'll worn track
that united Horace and Greeley. And
another spoke Of the suferings Of our.
Lord in the Garden OF Eden, the tracks
between Garden and Eden being bet
ter worn that between Garden and
Gethsemane. When mind is IN ruins
it often runs in these we'll beaten
tracks. A very eloque Mt Presbyte..
Ran divine happening to use the word
Peter in one OF his sermons, paused
and said. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eat
er. This was the last time he was
permitted to occupy the pulpit. &.

Daniel Webster, the greatest states
man the world ever produced, in one
of his conversations with his
biographer, made this extraordinary
statement: II am aware" said he,
land it would be afectatIon in me to
deny it, that have a public reputa-
ton TO leave to posterity; but it has
been earned with difficulty. If I
were to live my life over again with
present experience, I would, under
no circumstances and from no con-
siderations, allow myselfin publiclife.
The public are ungrateful. The man
who serves the public most faithfully
receives no adequate reward. Inmy
own history those acts which have
been, before God, the most disinteres-
ted and the least stained by selfish
considerations have been precisely
those for which / have been most
freely abused. No, no! have nothing
to do with politics. Sell your iron,
eat the bread of independence, sup
port your family with the rewards of
honest toll, do your duty as a private
citizn to your country, but let politics
alone. It is hard life, O thankless
life ~

The Railroad Commissioners.

It seems as though the state board
of railroad commissioners were doing
nothing to prevent the increase Of the
already heavy burdens of the people.
They seem to be Indifferent In regard
to the interests of the people. If the
officials who were selected to look af-
ter the interests ofthe commonwealth
will do nothing, the people should
see what could be done by taking the
matter in their own hands. Officials
are selected to guard the peoples In
terests and they should be the first to
grasp the situation and force fairness
and justice to the front. The people
want fairness, they want simple
justice, they want common rights,
and they will have them. These cor
portions that have tyrannized over
the people so long should not forget
that they are ''fooling with the buzz
saw" and that the day of quiet SUBJ
mission to all sorts of lndignity has
passed. Slowly these monsters have
been sapping the life-blood from the
rural districts and retribution is sure
to follow.-No-thfield News.

The Columbus, Ca, Enquirer-Sun
utters sound sense in the following:
which is as pertinent to some of our
Western States as to Alabama: IA
cording to the reports which are daily
sent ont over the country, nearly
every town in Alabama either has a
boom or is about to get one. They
are good things, properly managed,
but nothing could be more disastrous
than a too sudden advance in real
estate prices. 1t is bound to bring
reaction. The boom only too easily
becomes a boomerang. There is only
one safe course, and that is to first
get your boom and then hold on to it.
If it is inflated too much it will get
away, and everything that has depen-
ded on it will drop"
